Places to explore near Kingston upon Hull

Hull made its fortune on the Humber, a port for whaling, fishing and trade at the mouth of the river, and the old town still keeps its cobbled lanes and the house where William Wilberforce was born. The estuary defines what lies around it. The Humber Bridge sweeps across to the Lincolnshire bank, the long sand-spit of Spurn curls into the sea to the east, and the chalk of the Yorkshire Wolds Way rolls north. The Gothic Beverley Minster stands a short way inland.

82 places within 25 km — the standouts first, nearest first within each group. 2 are national icons.
